Abstract
This chapter examines whether the three main politico-strategic reasons and the alternative explanations for peaceful nuclear cooperation discussed previously operate correctly in actual cases of assistance. It analyzes three successfully predicted cases: U.S. assistance to Iran (1957–1979); Soviet assistance to Libya (1975–1986); and Canadian assistance to India (1955–1977). It also considers U.S. nuclear cooperation with India (2001–2008). In the United States–Iran case, there is evidence that a desire to strengthen the military alliance and counter the influence of the Soviet Union motivated Washington to initiate peaceful nuclear assistance to Tehran. The Soviet–Libya case can be explained by a desire to counter the influence of a shared adversary: United States. The Canada–India case ought to yield evidence that atomic aid occurred in part because India was a democracy. Finally, the United States–India case implies that countering the influence of a common adversary, China, and strengthening an existing democracy should be salient.
